(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Judicial cooperation in civil matters - Regulation (EU) No 655/2014 - European Account Preservation Order procedure - Conditions for issuing a preservation order - Article 4 - Concept of ‘judgment’ - Article 7 - Concept of ‘judgment requiring the debtor to pay the creditor’s claim’ - Judgment ordering a party to make a penalty payment for breach of a prohibitory order - Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 - Article 55 - Scope)

Operative part of the judgment

Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) No 655/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 establishing a European Account Preservation Order procedure to facilitate cross-border debt recovery in civil and commercial matters
must be interpreted as meaning that a judgment that orders a debtor to make a penalty payment in the event of a future breach of a prohibitory order and that therefore does not definitively set the amount of that penalty payment does not constitute a judgment requiring the debtor to pay the creditor’s claim, within the meaning of that provision, such that the creditor who requests a European Account Preservation Order is not exempt from the obligation to provide sufficient evidence to satisfy the court before which an application for that order is brought that he or she is likely to succeed on the substance of his or her claim against the debtor.

Operative part of the judgment







1.


Article 16(2)(c) of Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC
must be interpreted as meaning that priority access to the electricity grid enjoyed by electricity generating installations using renewable energy sources must be granted not only to installations producing electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources, but also to those producing from both renewable and conventional energy sources.










2.


Article 16(2)(c) of Directive 2009/28
must be interpreted as meaning that an installation which produces electricity from both renewable and conventional energy sources enjoys priority access to the grid solely in respect of the proportion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources. It is for the Member States to establish the detailed rules for applying that priority access, by setting transparent and non-discriminatory criteria which, whilst taking into account requirements relating to the maintenance of reliability and safety of the grid, make it possible to establish an order of priority according to the size of the share of renewable energy sources used by each installation for the production of electricity.

Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, as amended by Council Directive 2009/162/EU of 22 December 2009,

access to recharging devices for electric vehicles (including integration of the charger with the vehicle operating system);










—


the supply of electricity, within duly adjusted parameters, to the batteries of that vehicle;










—


the necessary technical support for the users concerned; and
